Definition:
A teleconference is a telephone meeting among several business associates.
Teleconferencing utilizes technology that is much more high tech than
a simple phone conversation. A teleconference can be as simple as an with
both ends of the conversation using a speaker phone to as complex as a
video teleconference utilizing full motion video images.
The term,
"teleconferencing," refers to two-way electronic communications
between two or more groups, or three or more individuals, who are in separate
locations. In order to interconnect people, teleconferencing systems use
telecommunications channels that range from regular telephone lines to
satellite links. The only requirement is that the medium be interactive,
giving people at each location the opportunity to actively participate
in the meeting or teleconferenced session.
We use teleconferencing
as an umbrella term to cover all forms and types of conferencing activities;
that is, audio as well as video, and as long as it meets each of the elements
in the above definition. Any form of teleconferencing also has several
common technical factors.
While still
expensive, the cost of teleconferencing has steadily reduced in step with
the bandwidth required to perform the function.
